The idea is capture both- the professional and person life of each individual and focus on their vision ans strengths.

A careful selection process lasting many weeks has given twelve faces to the calendar Legends of Tomorrow’, many of them having been photographed for the first time ever for a calendar like this.

Reviews like these bring a smile to my face. Thank you again readers, for making it the no. 1 Indian horror bestseller.

“There were few stories within that scared the hell out of me so much that I actually stopped reading the book in between for sometime. And yes (guilty!!) I read the book only during the day couldn’t manage to read it at night and neither when I was travelling. And they have created a benchmark of their own in terms of horror as a genre”- Blogger Namrata M.

‘The Other Side’ I am told had an amazingly successful day at Hans Raj College, Delhi where it was the official book partner of their annual college event, Vanjya Utsav.
The book was part of the corporate bidding, sales-pitch process, kind of an inter-collegiate contest between different teams from various colleges in a never before tried marketing initiative. It seems to have received a wonderful response by students across the NCR region attending the fest. — feeling happy.

Back to ruling the charts! The book is sharing space with legends like Woody Allen, Oscar Wilde and EA Poe!
No. 1 horror best-seller on Amazon.

A big salute to this guy for getting our countrymen in Yemen to safety. He roamed unarmed on war-torn streets reaching out to anyone who needed help.
Spoke to him today congratulating him and thanking him for his efforts.
Random fact- his handshake can crush the strongest metacarpals.
